Description
This NOFO will enhance and expand mentoring services for children and youth affected by opioids and other substance use, as well as their families. Mentoring services may include one-on-one, group, or peer mentoring—or a combination of these approaches. In addition to mentoring services, this NOFO may support supplemental activities that are consistent with the proposed mentoring model and have a clear connection to the mentoring program. Up to 20 percent of the total funds may be allocated for other non-mentoring direct services, such as mental health treatment, substance use treatment, or other supportive services identified and aligned with the project design.
